- The IOPU would be responsible for directing other hardware on the system. It doesn't need to be very performant.
- The SPU would be optimized for scalar and branch-heavy code that needs to run fast.
The SPU could have minimal security, just enough so it can't read arbitrary memory when fetching from RAM. It would only run one program at a time, so speculation shouldn't be an issue.
At least on my system few programs need a lot of processing power (and even then only intermittently), so little task switching should occur on an SPU.
I wish the article would go into detail what exactly the "transgressive behaviour" is, because now it is unclear to me how far I can take criticism that is either directly or indirectly linked to an individual.
For example, what if I have an extremely poor experience with a seller? Does it matter if this seller is a business or some random individual getting rid of 2nd hand items? What if the user being criticized is also anonymous?
In any case, I shall be using throwaway accounts more frequently just to be safe.
I am very glad I get to use open-source software at no cost. There are profiteers, sure, but I believe in the end open-source software will be more beneficial for society as a whole as it is much easier to reuse code.
My suspicion is that Prigozhin got recruited by a Western agency (CIA?) with the intent to destabilize Russia from the inside.
Key here is to discredit the Kremlin, by e.g. exposing or at least making them seem incompetent. Later a coup/revolution is staged to cause internal conflict and make Russia unable to continue the war in Ukraine.
Given how short this "coup" was and how easy Wagner seemed to get off with this stunt I suspect Prigozhin instead informed the Kremlin (or Putin directly) and played along. He would likely get supported during the coup by whoever recruited him. If this is the case those assets are probably arrested by now.
I'm sure China has plans too.
That will become less effective as companies become increasingly centralized, with just a few having many, many brands.
Also, if anyone steals the governments' private key the encryption of message 1 is moot.
- SMS
- Mobile app
What if someone doesn't have a phone?
I do not believe such OSes can ever be secure given how often vulnerabilities are found in web browsers's JS engines alone. Besides, AFAIK the only effective mitigation against all Spectre variants is using separate address spaces.
There are a few CPU-intensive tasks but those are easy to isolate and send to a threadpool.
I still use GRUB because IIRC my Gigabyte motherboard kept forgetting entries and/or associated settings.
Project description: I'm designing a custom filesystem with compression, error correction (with mirroring) & encryption.
The aim of the project is to have a filesystem with these features while remaining considerably simpler & easier to use than ZFS, btrfs etc. In particular, I aim to make it easy to use with removable media as I got a bunch of old drives that I don't want to have powered on 24/7.
I'm looking for people willing to test the filesystem. While the filesystem appears stable I believe more issues may pop up when used for long-term storage (e.g. backups). With more people using it I hope to find these issues quicker.
There are currently only (FUSE & tool/"mkfs") binaries for Linux[1]. If you want to test it but don't have a Linux installation, please let me know and I'll see if I can create a build for your OS.
Contact info: [email protected] or on Github.
P.S.: Using a block size other than 12 is currently broken, so don't adjust that parameter when creating a filesystem.

Even as a contributor I've found it very frustrating to contribute to Godot.
I've found lots and lots of bugs while working on my own projects using Godot. I spent a lot of time digging in the engine code to figure out the cause, make an issue and a patch if I could.
However, even small changes take a lot of time and effort. While I used Godot 3 for my own projects most of the PRs had to be based against 4. At the time Godot 4 was in a very sorry state and I ran in many, many issues that made it hard to test if the same fix for Godot 3 also works in Godot 4.
I wrote some libraries to work around issues that I (or others) could not get fixed or reverted (e.g. I replaced the physics engine with Rapier3D because I really needed more stable and working joints) but I eventually threw in the towel and decided to focus on other hobbies.
How slow is "unacceptably" slow?
Personally I do not find this to be an issue the vast majority of the time. Especially in combination with cargo watch which can automatically run a check/build/tests/... whenever a change is made.
At least here in Antwerp this is not normal at all, even though there is apparently a pretty big mafia who like making grenades explode.
In fact, I can't recall visiting any city, even in other countries, where this is considered "normal".
Because reading from unitialized memory yields an indeterminate value. Operating on such a value can lead to UB. This applies to languages other than Rust too (e.g. C).
Ralf explains it better than me[1].
You need to include punctuation for some regexes.
e.g.
The brown fox.

/fox./- More secure, especially if the website doesn't use TLS.
- Faster. Many websites work well enough even without JS or only some of it.
Disabling JS to resist fingerprinting may be counterproductive as only a minority of people disable it. My current approach is to use LibRedirect[1] et al to avoid using big websites such as YouTube directly.
In Firefox I also disable network.http.sendRefererHeader. It breaks some websites which rely on it for "security" though.

EDIT: I just found out on the amiunique website that over 12% of browsers disable it. Does this include bots?
I also have ffmpeg installed on the VPS if some images are too big for my taste.
I'm renting a VPS in New York which costs ~€20 a month (€15 for VPS with 1 dedi 3900X core, 4GB RAM and 80GB NVMe, €3 for DDoS protection and €1.5 for up to 7 daily backups), which in hindsight is overkill.
I do intend to add pagination but I'm not sure what a clean implementation would look like.
- A weak CAPTCHA that will be replaced with something stronger (probably image-based)
- Disabling registrations
